The Sweet Scent of September: Kenzo Flower Tag

, ,

The next fragrance in my Sweet Scent of September giveaway series is a fresh, feminine scent from Kenzo. Dubbed Flower Tag ($79-99, exclusively at The Bay), it's a new take on a classic light formula and features fruity notes (rhubarb, blackcurrant, mandarin), floral notes (peony, lily of the valley, jasmine), and sensual notes (tea, vanilla, musk). Although that sounds like a heady mix, when I tried it I was pleasantly surprised by how light and fresh it smelled. The bottle is a mix of a design by graffiti artist Julien Chalet and a poppy tag from a graffiti fresco in Paris. All in all, it's perfect for a fun free spirit.

To win a bottle of Kenzo Flower Tag, simply leave a relevant comment on this post by Friday September 30th, 12pm PST. All entries must have a means of contact (blog, email or Twitter). All entries without a means of contact will be disqualified. Canadian and international entries welcome. Good luck!

The Sweet Scent of September: Fan di Fendi

, ,

The next fragrance in my Sweet Scent of September giveaway series is none other than Fendi's latest, Fan di Fendi ($45-105 depending on the product, exclusively at The Bay). The fragrance itself is a beguiling mix of fruity notes, pink peppercorn, florals (damascena rose, yellow jasmine, Indian tuberose) and a hint of leather. And just look at that flacon! I love the sleek lines and gold hues. The rectangular shape and the double F were inspired by the clasp on the It bag of the 90s, the Baguette.

Fan di Fendi epitomizes sensuality, elegance, luxury and fun in the Italian sun, with a little bit of rock and roll thrown in for good measure. Don't believe me? Watch this ad featuring Abbey Lee Kershaw, Anja Rubik and Karmen Pedaru flaunting their Fendi-ness to the sounds of The Kills.

To win a bottle of Fan di Fendi:

  1. Leave a fun comment on this post explaining what you're a fan of. For example: "I'm a fan of lipstick, raw oysters, Pinterest, beautifully crafted leather handbags, cute dogs, and anything with lace on it."
  2. Entrants must have some means for me to contact them (email, blog, Twitter, etc.). Entries without a means of contact will be disqualified.
  3. The deadline for this giveaway is Friday September 23, 12pm PST. One winner will be drawn randomly.
  4. Canadian and international entries are welcome.

Good luck!

The Sweet Scent of September: Givenchy Ange ou Démon Le Secret Elixir

, ,

Press kits, lookbooks and beauty samples are slowly taking over my living space, which is why I've decided to share the wealth and host one fragrance giveaway a week for the rest of September. This is your chance to start the season (or the school year) off on the right foot with a sweet new scent! Every Monday I'll announce a new giveaway, and each Friday I'll announce a winner. Simple, no?

The first fragrance in 'The Sweet Scent of September' giveaway series is one of Givenchy's latest, the Ange ou Démon Le Secret Elixir eau de parfum intense. Billed as a "depply sensual floral white flowers fragrance," it features notes of Italian lemon, green tea, and neroli, as well as a mix of white flowers: Sambac jasmine, orange blossom, and frangipani flower. The flask--a pink-purple faceted pendant with hints of smoke and amethyst--would be a welcome addition to any dresser top.

Overall, Le Secret Elixir is light, pretty and pleasant without being cloying. It starts off fruity and floral, then fades to a lingering powdery vanilla/patchouli finish. In Canada, Le Secret is available exclusively at The Bay ($61-114 depending on the product).

To win a bottle of Givenchy Ange ou Démon Le Secret Elixir:

  1. Leave a fun comment on this post explaining why you're an angel or a demon. For example: "I'm an angel because I'm a Big Sister"; "I'm an angel because I always offer my boyfriend a bite of my food before I dig into it"; or "I'm a demon because I make fun of girls who wear Uggs."
  2. Entrants must have some means for me to contact them (email, blog, Twitter, etc.). Entries without a means of contact will be disqualified.
  3. The deadline for this giveaway is Friday September 16, 12pm PST. One winner will be drawn randomly.
  4. Canadian and international entries are welcome.

Good luck!
